Sometimes the thing getting in the way of your training isn’t fitness.
It isn’t always technique either.
Sometimes it’s your routine, your confidence, your expectations, or simply the fact that the way you’ve organised your training no longer fits your life.
That’s the bigger thought behind today’s row.
If you planned to row in the morning but keep lying in bed thinking “I just can’t face it today”, the useful question isn’t whether you’re tough enough.
It’s why does that keep happening? 0110
Maybe you’re genuinely tired. Maybe mornings just don’t suit you. Maybe the workout feels too daunting. Maybe what used to work for you simply doesn’t anymore.
And if the same thing keeps happening, perhaps the answer isn’t to keep forcing the same routine. It might be better to change it — move the workout to lunchtime, later in the day, or whenever you’re actually more likely to get it done. 0110
That applies whether you’re training for a fast 2K, trying to improve your rowing, or simply using the machine to stay fit and healthy.
The more you understand about what makes you tick, the easier it becomes to build training that you can actually stick with.
Today is 21 minutes of low-intensity rowing followed by a 4 minute cool down, with plenty of technique coaching and general chat along the way.
So RowAlong with me, get the body moving, and maybe use the time to think about one question:
